This kind of thing should be front page material on any FEH site or forum. I suspect that since they didn't give any kind of warning, they're going to be doing some kind of... compensation.

Normally I would agree with you but in this case it's weird, the CYL2 page originally showed all 4 winners and then New Mystery Marth as you see in the picture you put up. But then they changed it to Shadow Dragon Marth, the version of him that got a higher number of votes in CYL2. It could still mean nothing but it's a strange thing to specifically change y'know?

Nothing is stopping them from using an adapted version of Eirika's outfit. Male and female Robin, for example, have essentially the same outfit, but female Robin has a tank top instead of a sleeved shirt. Male and female Corrin also have essentially the same outfit, but female Corrin isn't wearing pants. Genderbend fan art also does this all the time, making small wardrobe adjustments to use the same designs but on more gender-accentuating attire.

Sword infantry is a boring unit type these days. I thought both Robins had tank tops? Only female Robin's is spaghetti straps while male Robin's is not. Female Corrin not having pants is awful design imo. Another thing, Ephraim is the one mentoring Eirika, not the other way around. I'd think he'd rather want to take after his own mentor, Duessel, who was an axe cav. Edited August 20, 2018 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Siblings as the "theme" makes a lot of sense and just because Ephraim has a sister and not a brother like the other three does not matter. They could change the color of Ephraim's clothes and change up his armor to look like Erika's and they could do the same thing with Marth if he is getting a brave alt. I have been betting on a sibling theme since the winners were announced, but I will be happy with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't like Eirika and think she's boring, so I would really prefer that Ephraim not go cosplaying as his sister. Axe cavalry is still a needed movement type too, so I think this makes more sense for Ephraim. Personally, if he is dressing up like Eirika, I'm not going to want him anymore. But I would be happy with literally anything else. Edited August 20, 2018 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karimlan Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Before the login bonuses tomorrow, I'll have 17 orbs to mess around with (four leftover from the weekend, nine from the BHB clears, and four from the current Arena season's closing). I'll probably go get Hector so I won't pine for him unlike his every other incarnation—it took eight or nine months before I got my first OG one, the LA! iteration came in the dying hours of that respective banner, and I've yet to get the Legendary version. My batting average (if such could be called) for the CYL was pretty good last year—I was able to get all four of them over the course of the whole banner's period, so I figure it'll be fine to get the safe choice for me, at the very least.

I agree that axe cav Ephraim would be great, I have just been trying to come up with a good "theme" that makes sense and a mentor one is hard to do since neither girl really has one. I am trying to keep my hopes low since I would rather be surprised then have my hopes dashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayni Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Okay, so crazy theory time: Spoiler We have a GHB with CYL. I think there's a possibility of Loki being it. It would make sense, what with her high rank in CYL, her ties to Heroes' story (which the CYL units will likely share) and the attempts by IS to make staves great again lately it wouldn't be out of place (or they do an alt for her, who knows?). As well as that, we'll get Marth somehow. While we got a lot of events, there's a good chance at least one wasn't mentioned as there was no hint of tomorrow being CYL at the time it came out. Even with the current events, there's GC (which has precedent for putting units in the general summoning pool), Forging Bonds (which could, it's only ran once so far.) or even the next legendary banner (which is red!) or something out of left field like the next Voting Gauntlet.

I want the sibling theme to be true because a red colored armor for Ephraim is the only other way to make him interesting for me.

Then again, if certain things are true with the story that would really make Veronica the most likely bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdimensional Observer Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The problem with the sibling theme, as good as it is, is color representation. Ephraim would go Red, Celica would go Blue, but Veronica would also be Blue, and Hector would either be Blue, or, to go by FE7's unused NPC data: Uther Class: General (M)Affinity: AnimaWeapon Ranks: Axe S, Lance A Axxxxeeeeeee! And no Colorless in sight. Assuming they wanted to do color symmetry again, which they might given the hint they'll be giving another free pick. If Marth somehow got in on the sibling fun, he'd be packing some Staffin'. Aum perhaps (Marth should be a pure/noble enough soul to use it)? Assist that is "One guaranteed Miracle proc for a unit for one turn."? Sounds like some good utility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander is more of her everything now. As for the others, I can see them giving Ephraim Duessel’s armor which would basically make him into a red Ephraim in appearance. Celica could probably take after her mother, Conrad or even Saber. Hector could get armor based on Eliwood, Uther, Oswin or even Darin. Veronica is the wild card here but I hope she takes after Xander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
